Elon Musk has criticized the casting of Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, with some reports suggesting he objected to the casting of a black actor, specifically Lupita Nyong'o, as Helen of Troy. Musk's comments have been described as part of a days-long critique of the film, with some outlets characterizing his statements as boosting misinformation or supporting racist and transphobic commentary. The nature and extent of Musk's criticism are somewhat unclear, but it has drawn a response from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who mocked Musk's comments.
